Dihao's civilian life

Chapter 43 Under the Divine Tree

When people in Yucheng build new houses, they often build them in the northeast area, which is open and sparsely populated, so that the edge areas are overgrown with vegetation.People in Yucheng have the custom of building a new house when a man comes of age, so Fengchuan has a "rough house" there, a rough wooden house with unsecured doors and windows, and rough walls.

The soil steps of the "rough house" were covered with weeds, which were roughly cut off by a big hand. The surroundings of the house were cleared out, and wooden pillars were erected here and there to enclose the yard.The weeds were piled together, placed in the yard, and burned away.Autumn grass is withered and yellow, easy to burn, and will soon turn into a pile of ashes.

Feng Chuan dug a shallow pit behind the house, poured water into the pit, and stirred the grass and soil.He put the mixed soil into a bamboo basket and carried it from Fengze to the hut.In the hut, Yu Su and Yu Zhou painted the walls. They followed Feng Kui to learn how to paint the walls. They took a small mud board to paint the walls. Both of their heads and faces were covered with mud.

They also need to build their own houses in the future, and people always help each other in this way, and they can learn the necessary skills.Feng Ze put a basket of soil beside his father, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

Feng Xi saw that her elder brother was sweating profusely, poured a bowl of soup and handed it to him.Fengze drank the water, turned around and went to pick up the mud behind the house. He had to go back and forth many times, which was really exhausting.

Feng Chuan put the soil into two bamboo baskets, he jumped out of the pit, wiped off the mud stuck on his calf, he picked up a bamboo basket, and went into the house.He has never stopped, he has been working, and he is still doing the most tiring work. He is building his own house, and he is very devoted.

Yu Su smoothed a wall and climbed down the wooden ladder to examine it.Grass and mud walls are naturally not as beautiful as those painted with fine white powder, but the walls of ordinary people are generally not so elegant, which is probably the case.This house is not bad, with a foundation and a wooden roof, it looks spacious and bright, unlike the houses of the poor, which are semi-crypted, narrow and damp, and the roof is covered with grass.

Yu Su's wall is flat and flat like that, and it's really outrageous to look at the wall that Zhou Zhou is in charge of.Naturally, Fengkui wouldn't say anything about him, it's friendship for him to come to help.Fengkui took the mud board, went to the base of the wall, and repaired it from the corners.

Feng Xi handed water to everyone before she went to do her work, she was fighting bamboo strips in the courtyard.To make materials for the yard, a lot of bamboo boards are needed, which is enough for her.Feng Xi has the hands of a pair of laborers, she is familiar with weaving, and she is not afraid that the edges of the bamboo burrs will cut her hands.

The brothers and sisters from the Yu family came over, and Feng Xi had already made five bamboo boards, when she heard Yu Yuan's voice, she looked up and saw their brothers and sisters, smiling.Yu Yuan stayed at Feng Xi's side to help, so she also handed over the things. She has a pair of hands with fine skin and tender flesh, but these hands are still clumsy and can't do this kind of work.

Yu Yun walked towards the house. Seeing that everyone was busy, he rolled up his sleeves, bent over and picked up an empty bamboo basket, intending to carry the soil.Fengkui saw it and said to him: "Chuan will come to mention it, will you paint walls?"

So Yu Zhou gave Yu Yun the wall painting tools, and Yu Zhou was happy to run outside the house to weave bamboo boards with Feng Xi.Fengkui just shook her head when she saw him leaning beside her daughter with a courteous look.He doesn't dislike Yu Zhou's poor family, it's just that his daughter is not interested in him, Feng Kui can tell.

The group was busy until noon, when they heard voices from outside, Yu Su poked his head out from the room, and saw four or five young and vigorous men, the leader was Yu Zheng.They had logging and digging tools in their hands, and their clothes were stained with mud. It seemed that they had finished their work.

"Yu Zheng, what are you doing here?" Yu Zhou was familiar with Yu Zheng and went up to meet him.

"Xiao Zhou, we are helping Lao Zheng build a new house."

Yu Zheng's friends were talking all over the place, seeing that Feng Yu was still following him, Yu Zhou understood what was going on, and he was quite surprised.

"Xiao Zhou, my house is built at Lin Ze's place." Yu Zheng returned calmly, and with a finger pointing, he was far away, outside the ditch of the Yucheng settlement.

The people in the house all came out at this time, Yu Su was particularly concerned when he saw that it was Yu Zheng and Feng Yu, and when he heard that Yu Zheng built the house outside the trench, Yu Su was quite surprised, but understood.

"How did it get built there? It's too desolate." Feng Kui didn't know the reason.

"This side is also close to the woodland, and Lin Ze's side is good for hunting." Yu Zheng looked at Feng Chuan, raised his chin, and asked, "Feng Chuan, do you want to help?"

"No need, our wall is almost finished." Feng Chuan said with a smile.

"Isn't this wooden door installed yet?" Yu Zheng measured the wooden door with his eyes. He was very warm to others and willing to help.

"Come on, go and drag two pieces of wood to make a wooden door." Yu Zheng turned around and said to his companions that he was quite a charismatic person, and he led the people into the woods with an order.

"Thank you then." Feng Chuan thanked.Let Shang Yuzheng follow, and Yu Zhou also follow.Hauling wood is not an easy task, it is easier to work with more people.

A group of people left, and when they came back, they really brought two logs.The wood was fastened with a rope, and the two were tied together. Six or seven men lifted it together, sweating profusely.

Thanks to Yu Zheng's help, when work was over in the evening, the wooden door of Feng Chuan's house was installed, and the windows were also installed.Although Feng Chuan has no friendship with Yu Zheng, until now, he knows that this person is really good and worth making friends with.

After Feng Chuan's wooden house was built, it was only two days before his and Zhu Yun's wedding.

On the wedding day, Yu Su, Yu Yun and Yu Zhou accompanied Feng Chuan to Zhu Yun's house, and it was already dusk.Zhu Yun's house is lively, and all the neighbors are here to help.Beside Zhu Yun, gathered her female companions. The girls are dressed in flower crowns, which is rare to see.Zhu Yun was wearing a toothpick and a muslin skirt with purple patterns on her body, she was really beautiful.Feng Chuan put on a short robe for the first time, with his usually messy hair tied up in a bun, he is a heroic and good man.

Feng Chuan carried Zhu Yun on his back, and the crowd booed and followed behind happily.Whether it's Feng Chuan's partner or Zhu Yun's female partner, they've been with them all the way, and they couldn't stop their joy in their hearts. This day is Feng Chuan and Zhu Yun's happy event, and it's their own day. They're both married age.

As the wedding party left the North District, the number of onlookers gradually decreased, and only their relatives and friends stayed with Feng Chuan and Zhu Yun.Feng Chuan walked out of the North District in one breath with Zhu Yun on his back. He also had amazing arm strength.Zhu Yun felt sorry for him, and beat him on the shoulder to let him go, Feng Chuan put him down this time, and straightened his numb waist.Yu Zhou leaned over to give a thumbs up, he really admired his Brother Chuan, and also warmly called Zhu Yun: "Sister-in-law." Zhu Yun responded generously.

From Zhu Yun's house to her and Feng Chuan's two-person hut, the journey was not too far, but they stopped and stopped along the way, and when everyone arrived, it was already dark.They saw the fire burning in front of the house, and the neighbors gathered there.

Feng Chuan's family is just an ordinary family, there is no alcohol in the wedding banquet, and some rough food is provided.Feng Chuan and Zhu Yun are very popular, and there are many visitors, which is quite lively.

People either danced around the campfire or gathered in the house to watch the officiant pour wine into the double jugs.Fengchuan's Shuanglianhu is more beautiful and colorful than others'.Feng Chuan held it, put his head together with Zhu Yun, and drank the wine from the double jug.This is a sacred moment, everyone is silent, and the young people stare with wide eyes, watching curiously.

After the Shuanglianhu drinking ceremony was over, everyone dispersed and ran to the bonfire to celebrate.

In the room, only Feng Chuan and Zhu Yun were left, Feng Chuan was naturally overjoyed, and Zhu Yun had a smile on his face.Accompanying them in the house were gifts from relatives and friends, Yu Yun's lacquer box, Yu Su's handmade pottery, Yu Zhou's dried venison, Yu Zheng's bone knife, and Feng Yu steamed pastries, etc.

Outside the house, Yu Su was far away from the crowd, sitting on a slope, watching the people celebrating around the bonfire.He was happy for Feng Chuan and Zhu Yun, but he was depressed in his heart.Many days had passed since he left the camp, and he had not gone to Cape Hill again.Because he has something to do, and because he has no boat to cross the water.

He couldn't stop thinking about Si Hao, once he calmed down, he would miss him.

When leaving the camp, Yu Su knew that Jihua and Hu would take care of him, and Muzheng would take care of him.But as time goes by, Yu Su is not sure if Jihua is still in Jiaoshan, will he go back to Renyi?Is Si Hao still in the camp?Or has he been taken by Mu Zheng to take care of him?

What happened to his injured shoulder?Still can't lift it?He may have lost weight again, from the drugs and the pain.

After being dizzy and busy for a while, Feng Chuan's marriage was completed today, Yu Su thought, no matter what, he had to find a way to go to Jiaoshan, he had to see Si Hao.He felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, he was afraid that when he went to Jiaoshan, he would get the news of Si Hao's departure.

Although Si Hao told him that when he recovered from his injury, he would come to him.

"Asu?"

Yu Su heard a call, stood up from the grass, and saw Feng Xi walking towards him.Feng Xi also dressed up very beautifully today, wearing a new suit and a flower crown on her head.She came to Yu Su's side and said to him: "Asu, why don't you go?" Yu Su smiled and said, "I'm watching from here, it's very lively."

Feng Xi sat down next to Yu Su, both of them lowered their heads, they were silent for a long time, Feng Xi got up and said: "Then I'll go." Some lonely.

Not long after Feng Xi left, Yu Su saw two figures not far away, leaning against a big tree.The moonlight was bright enough for him to recognize that it was Yu Zheng and Feng Yu, who were kissing each other in the woodland under the moon.

Yu Su was embarrassed to take a peek, and quietly left the grassy slope, her face flushed.Although it wasn't real, it felt like hugging and kissing in that pose.He and Si Hao looked like this. At that time, Si Hao was covering him with his back against the wall. They embraced each other, and Si Hao kissed him.

In her heart, Yu Su has a vague idea, a trajectory, like these two "old seniors", to build a house in Lin Zeli, leave the crowd, and live a lonely and comfortable life.

After Feng Chuan's marriage, it seemed to be autumn, and the dead leaves were flying in the settlement, and they were blown everywhere by the wind.Yu Su's life suddenly became quiet, the big pottery workshop was leisurely in autumn, and Tai Dong did not sell pottery in autumn.Unfortunately, in autumn, the fishermen in Yucheng don't like crossing Renshui. They gather in Duze to catch fish and crabs, which is the harvest time.

If you tell Feng Chuan that you are going to Jiaoshan, but you are a boatman, Feng Chuan will definitely take him by boat without saying a word.Yu Su didn't want to disturb his and Zhu Yun's wedding day, the two were inseparable all day long, because they were so happy that Feng Chuan didn't even fish for several days.

This is the case with partners. After getting married, they can't be carefree like when they were single, playing games together all day long.

During this period of time, Yu Su, apart from walking around the pottery workshop and taking care of the crops in the fields, he just stayed at home and made pottery.A pile of pottery for daily use was burned out, and the family didn't use that much, so it was piled up in the small wooden house in the courtyard.

Mother Yu went into the small wooden house one day, saw a complete set of daily necessities, and asked Su Yu: "Su'er, have you taken a fancy to someone's daughter?" Mother Yu thought, is this for independent living in the future?

Yu Su shook his head, lowered his head and kneaded the soil.

Mother Yu saw that her son was so depressed these days, she was obviously worried, and said to him: "If this goes on, I won't get bored anymore, go help my mother pick mushrooms, and I will cook soup at night." Yu Su raised her head and responded : "Okay, Mom, I'll go right away."

This kid is good, if you ask him to do something, he is still diligent.

Yu's mother handed Yu Su a bamboo basket and gave Yu Su to the elder sisters and aunts in the neighborhood. Yu Su didn't know that her mother's mushroom picking team was so huge.Although they are all close neighbors, Yu Su seldom gets together with them. These people will joke with Yu Su and ask him if he has a girl he likes. They think Yu Su is quiet and beautiful.

When Yu chooses a son-in-law, he naturally likes strong and capable ones, like Feng Chuan, but Yu Su's family is rich, and the characters are elegant, which looks pleasing to the eye.

Following the neighbors out of Yucheng, as soon as they entered Jigu, Yu Su left them and went to pick mushrooms by himself.Everyone was in a group and didn't notice that Yu Su was walking farther and farther away. Only Er's wife, Sister He, shouted: "Xiao Su, don't go far away!" Crying without fuss, eyes wide open, looking around curiously. "Sister He, I'm on the other side of the Shenmu, so I won't go far." Yu Su responded, and his figure disappeared into the forest.

There is a sacred tree in Jigu, which may be thousands of years old. It is so tall that eight or nine grown men cannot hold it in their arms.Yu people discovered its existence very early on, and people thought it was the god of Jigu, so they never cut it down.

There are no other trees around the sacred tree, forming an open space, which is also the center of the valley.It is tacitly understood that the young people will have a tryst at a hidden slope on the east side of Shenmu.However, the surrounding area of ​​Shenmu is a good place to pick mushrooms. Push away the weeds, dig out the half-outcropped mushrooms, take the big ones and let go of the small ones, and they will continue to grow.

Yu Su carried the basket and stepped into the Shenmu area. It was not the first time he came here and felt its mystery.In the deep valley, there is an incredible quietness, that kind of quietness, even the sound of falling leaves can be heard.Yu Su looked up at the sacred tree, but couldn't see its top. What he saw was the lush greenery that covered the sky and the sun.Yu Su still remembered the shock when she first saw Shenmu when she was a child.

15-year-old Yu Su is already used to it. He sits beside the cat leisurely, digging mushrooms with a bamboo knife.One by one, one after another, six or seven large mushrooms were placed in the bamboo basket.Yu Su picked up the bamboo basket, intending to change places, but just as he walked past the Shenmu, he sensed something, and he stopped suddenly.

His heart was beating so fast, his face was rosy, and he sat on the ground covering his chest.He could tell that this time was different from the previous flustered, which was uncomfortable and frustrating, but this time it was excited.He fisted his hands and put them on his thighs, his hands were still shaking.

what exactly is it?

Shenmu, what do you want to tell me?

Yu Su raised his left hand, spread his fingers, and pressed his palm against the tree trunk.The texture of the old tree was rough, and the circumference of the tree was astonishing. Yu Su's hand was placed on it, and it was small. Even Yu Su's whole body, in front of it, was as small as a seedling in the forest.

At this time, Yu Su suddenly remembered a story about the Yu clan, a very old story.At that time, Yucheng had not yet been built, and the leader of the Yu clan had a beautiful little daughter.One day, she was playing under the sacred tree, and fell asleep after playing.She dreamed that the Shenmu led her westward, and she saw a large lake and a white deer.The story was told from generation to generation, it was dyed with strange colors, and later became a legend.

The daughter of the leader of the Yu clan, she was an imperial concubine in the ancient emperor period, which is the origin of the legend of the white deer of the Yu people.

Shenmu naturally can't speak, it's just a legend.

Yu Su naturally knew that he calmed down, stood up, and planned to leave Shenmu and go to the other side to pick mushrooms.At this moment, Yu Su heard the sound of leaves being pulled behind him, and when Yu Su turned his head, he saw a figure.

At first glance, Yu Su thought it was a dream, and sometimes he would have some bizarre dreams, and in these dreams, there was often Si Hao's figure.

The handsome man in the forest was tall and tall, his hair was tied up in a bun, he was wearing a white cloth that was not new and not old, and a black lower garment.He had a bow on his body and a spear in his hand. Around his waist was a familiar pottery jug, and a blue hairband was wrapped around one side of the belt.

Tears overflowed from Yu Su's eyes, because he was so real and familiar. Yu Su remembered his eyebrows, eyes, lips, nose, posture, and appearance very deeply.

Hao...

The man who broke into the Shenmu area, his first gaze was attracted by this huge ancient tree. He looked up and looked at it, his eyes showed wonder, but it was only for a moment. He lowered his head, held his spear tightly, and broke into a Unfamiliar woods, you have to be vigilant.His eyes fell on the empty valley, and this is when he saw a figure, which was blocked by the trunk of the giant tree, a familiar figure.

A black dog, who seemed to be returning from inspection, ran to him and barked for credit, but saw the owner walking towards the giant tree, and ignored it at all.

"Yu Su?" Si Hao asked tentatively, not so sincerely.

He forgot the danger, he went straight forward, approaching the figure in the forest with every step, maybe it wasn't a person, maybe it was just an illusion.

When Si Hao walked to the center of Shenmu, the young man stepped out slowly. He had long hair and was wearing an all-too-familiar white shirt. He had a smile on his face, with tears in his smile.

A gust of wind without warning blew into the valley, the branches and leaves of the giant trees trembled, and the rustling sound resounded through the heart of the valley.
